It has been a long time, Jennifer

Today I opened my blog for the first time in almost 18 months.

Where have I been?  In transition.

• home for 19 years; sold
• 2002 Toyota Camry; sold
• got married
• moved to Northern Kentucky / Cincinnati / Ohio Valley area
• purchased a new home
• bought a new car (Subaru)
• started a new job as a career transition coach

That’s the good news.  The other stuff………still pretty lonely.

Loneliness is a feeling.  Being alone is situational.

Even though I am not alone; I feel a deep sense of loneliness.

Nobody knows my name (or at least a few people do now!)

I am an outsider.

My story is a mystery.

I feel invisible.

I am so grateful for friends and children that have come to visit.  I am thankful for a few new friends that have come to our home to share a meal. Every little bit helps!

On New Year’s Day, 2017,  I worked on my personal mission statement and vision.

Mission:

My mission is to inspire, engage and embrace compassion, creativity and courage with individuals and organizations seeking meaningful human connection.

What is your personal mission statement?

Vision:

I am fully engaged as a connector, facilitator, coach and musician in the greater Cincinnati/NKY/ Ohio Valley vicinity through groups, communities and organizations focused on the performing arts, culture, nature and holistic (personal & professional) growth and development.

What is your vision?
